Now we've mentioned the Rx-8 TT we are just about to start the Wankel based Rx8 based on the Nemesis 13B which has the upgraded oil vanes and is more reliable than the Rx7 version. The cars will have the stock 231bhp with a 6 speed box and lsd and due to the compact and lightness of the engine we are aiming for a target weight of 500kg with the upgraded chassis to 2mm wall thickness for extra strength and rigidity. First one is planned to be on the road for end of September and will be called the "Saturn Roadster RW460" as in 460bhp / Tonne.
